Tutorial - Watermelons

Hello, lovely readers! Happy Monday!

So the heat of summer is back in full swing in Colorado. :P I tell you, I cannot WAIT for fall! It’s my favorite season, and I’ve had a MASSIVE craving for it lately ;) But while the summer heat is still with us, how about we do another fruity manicure with today’s tutorial:

Watermelons!

Step 1: Supplies! For this manicure, you will need:

Clear base and top coat

Nail polish in pink/red, green, and black

A piece of paper/plastic to drip polish on

A toothpick

Hole reinforcement stickers

Step 2: Prep it! Clean, shape, and buff your nails in the style you prefer, then paint on the clear base coat.

Step 3: Paint it! Paint your nails with 2-3 coats of your red/pink polish, or however many coats it takes to get a solid color.

WAIT for the polish to dry completely before moving on to step 4. Your nails should be dry enough when you can rub them against each other without any tack.

Step 4: Sticker! Take one of the hole reinforcement stickers and place it over your nail, leaving the tip of your nail exposed.
